Homes and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and large townships such as KwaNobuhle. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts, strong winds and occasional heavy rain that finds old flashings and gutters. Dusty conditions and sun wear paint quickly. Typical jobs include roof repairs, repainting, ceilings, plumbing, paving, fencing and security gates. Heritage buildings in the central area need careful repair. Farms along the Sundays River and Addo need outbuilding and fence work. Local merchants supply building materials.
Typical waterproofing products requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: torch-on or liquid rubber for flat roof sections above garages, patios and extensions
- Township homes and extensions: roof sealants and bitumen coatings for sheets and flat slabs that leak in heavy rain
- Older and character homes: breathable, compatible products for old parapets, valleys and flat roof sections
- Townhouses and security estates: approved products for shared flat roofs, parapets and balconies maintained by the body corporate
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk bitumen and liquid rubber for shed roofs, water tanks and stoep slabs
- Shops, offices and rentals: large-roll membranes and roof coatings for warehouse, shop and office flat roofs
